The art of flower arrangement originated centuries ago and has traveled from different parts of the world and taken on different forms in different countries. It was in the classical Greek and Roman times when flower arrangements were first known. It then went on to be defined as part of the European art culture from the 14th century to the 17th century before going to American and Asian countries.
The primary principles of traditional flower arrangements include balance, proportion, harmony, and color. If all flower arrangements should be done in the traditional style, then they must embody these principles. The designs of the traditional flower arrangements are adopted from the ancient times and are considered to be appealing and enhancing the senses of sight, touch, and smell, in their form, texture, and fragrance.
Having a garden is an advantage if you who would like to practice the art of flower arrangement. Just pick and cut the flowers that you want. Make sure that you do this early in the morning when their stems contain more water and they will not dry up immediately. Find a vase that you can use and find a base where you will stick the flowers into. Do not forget to fill the vase with water. It is good to synchronize the flowers' color with that of your environment. With enough practice, you can learn to become more inventive with your styles.
Since flower arrangement is an art, how it looks like should really depend on you. But of course, to have a more professional-looking flower arrangement, you can have them custom-designed according for a particular occasion such as birthdays, weddings, corporate events, anniversaries, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. On the other hand, if you want to make an arrangement for no occasion at all, you can base your arrangement on the season. There are specific flowers that grow during each of the four seasons. You can also create flower arrangements using silk flowers, dried flowers, and even paper flowers.
